GREENSBURG, KY (WAVE) - Federal agents are in Kentucky searching for a man who has threatened the lives of President Donald Trump and Adair County native Dakota Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient.
Shawn Richard Christy, 27, lives in McAdoo, Pennsylvania but is believed to be in Kentucky. He is wanted by the FBI and U.S. Marshals and is considered armed and dangerous.
An alert was issued Thursday night for the public to be on the lookout for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, green with a black hood, and the license plate number 095-WYT.
The car was stolen from Meyer's brother's house in Adair County around 6:30 p.m. central time, Kentucky State Police confirmed.
Meyer's brother, Timothy Gilliam, also reported his front door was kicked in and food was taken from his refrigerator.
Surveillance video at Gilliam's home appears to show the person responsible was Christy.
If anyone sees the stolen Jeep, call 911 immediately. Do not approach the vehicle, police urge.
Kentucky State Police said Christy also broke into Meyer's home Thursday morning.
KSP is investigating the burglary and vehicle theft while U.S. Marshals continue their investigation.
In early August, police said Christy stole a different car in West Virginia and drove to Kentucky.
Federal agents recovered a car on Saturday, Aug. 4, matching the description of the one they said Christy stole out of state. It was near Meyer's home, which is close to the Adair/Green County line.
A judge issued a federal warrant for Christy when he posted a threatening message on Facebook against a Pennsylvania politician on June 19 which also said he would "put one (a bullet) in the head of President Donald. J. Trump."
He also said he would use "full lethal force on any law enforcement officer that tries to detain me."
Christy is a white male with short, dark blonde hair and a beard. He's 5'10" and weighs approximately 160 pounds. Police said he has a tattoo of a cross on his right upper arm.
Federal agents said Christy talks with a noticeable lisp and claims to be a survivalist.
U.S. Marshals are in Kentucky looking for Christy.
Anyone who provides information leading directly to his arrest could claim a cash reward of $15,000.
Call the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-WANTED-2 (1-877-926-8332) or the FBI at 1-215-418-4000.
Remember anyone who sees Christy should not approach him -- he is considered armed and dangerous.
